Community Photo Challenge - Love




I was trying to decide what to shoot for this challenge, and while packing my dress to send it west for my wedding in two weeks, I was suddenly inspired.  A year ago on Valentine's Day, my fiance asked me to marry him.  Coincidentally, the Valentine's Day card I gave him that morning had a little hang tag that said, "Yes."

These are three different shots using the regular, sepia tone, and B&W features on my little Sony.  I like them as a series.

I like them too.   Great for the challenge.

Two weeks to your wedding?  How exciting for you.  How lovely too.
I will have been married forty years this July.  It doesn't seem that long ago now.

I wish you every happiness on  your wedding day with a long happy life together.

The photos are lovely. Is your dress the background? You might find three matching frames or a frame to mount the three together. It would make a nice mantelpiece decoration.

I love the story behind the photograph.  So very fitting for the challenge - not only the photograph but the story too.

Congrats on your upcoming marriage!
